Digital Home Thoughts: Sezmi Launches $20 Per Month Cable/Satellite Alternative

"Sezmi today announced an introductory release of its all-in-one television service, available in the greater Los Angeles area exclusively through Best Buy (NYSE: BBY). The first-of-its-kind personal TV service seamlessly integrates live television, on-demand movies and television shows, and web videos in an easily self-installed system that automatically records, recommends and organizes the favorite shows of each individual member of the family."

Sezmi launched their new service today in LA. It seems like a nice deal if you don't care about sports at all. No ESPN or local sports channels is a drawback, but other than that it is an interesting service. There is even a $5 a month service if you want a really affordable package. It is nice to see some more competition in the content delivery business. If they can sign a few more big name networks (e.g. ESPN) they will have a very compelling offering here.
